We took the tour on a very hot day and the tour guide offered options for taking our time and staying in the shade. The food was excellent. The information was very interesting and complete. But there was something that made us uncomfortable. At one of the food stops we were joined by a man who said he was Raymond Patriarca's grandson and Raymond Junior's nephew. That is not possible because Raymond Patriarca had only one child. This man was loud and crude and told a lot of stories about being with the mob, but I think he was a con man. He was with the group for an hour or two and mostly hung around the younger women in the tour. He seemed to be friends with the tour guide and acted kind of like a second tour guide. I just think it was unprofessional and I wish we could have had just the official guide and a more peaceful tour.
